Vernon and The8 Are Launching a New Music Project

# **V8: The SEVENTEEN Subunit Taking Over June 29**

## **A New Chapter While Members Serve**

SEVENTEEN is splitting into fresh creative territory with **V8**, a new subunit featuring **Vernon** and **The8**, set to drop their debut album on **June 29**. Far from a side project, this marks a strategic move as most of SEVENTEEN’s members fulfill mandatory military service—yet the music keeps flowing.

## **Why V8 Stands Out**

SEVENTEEN has a history of subunits (this marks their **sixth official** one), but V8 breaks the mold. Unlike past units focused on performance, **both Vernon and The8 are deeply hands-on in the creative process**.

Vernon, a powerhouse rapper and songwriter, has been shaping SEVENTEEN’s sound since their debut in 2015. His industry clout? Undeniable—he even secured Grammy voting membership last year.
The8, SEVENTEEN’s dynamic dancer and visual artist, brings a fusion of movement and contemporary art to the project. His solo work in China has already turned heads.

Their 2023 collab "54321 (Lift Off)" proved their chemistry—so expectations for V8’s first full album are sky-high.

A Creative Revolution, Not Just a Detour

SEVENTEEN isn’t alone in using subunits during enlistments—but what sets them apart? Fan engagement. Their subunits don’t just maintain visibility; they thrive. Will V8 follow suit?

After the release, the duo will take the stage with a two-day concert in Seoul, followed by a stop in Hong Kong.

The countdown begins—June 29 is V8’s moment to shine.
